Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind ( Chinese : 第一類型危險 ) is a 1980 Hong Kong [ 1 ] crime film directed by Tsui Hark . The initial cut of the film was banned for its violence, generating public interest in the film that caused its edited version to become a box office success in Hong Kong. [ 2 ] Plot Paul manufactures a bomb using a wristwatch for its timer and he and his two friends Lung and Ko set it off in a movie theater for fun, avoiding any casualties. Wan-Chu, a girl who spends her time torturing animals, sees them flee the theater and follows them but does not tell the police. After being fired from her job at a printing press for pouring ink on a coworker during an argument, she argues with her older brother Tan, the police officer assigned to investigate the bombing, and impales a cat on a fence post out of anger. She then forces her way into the group of boys by threatening to expose them to the police if they do not become her friends. She makes them discard a mouse she has tortured and in return they challenge her to place a bomb in a public restroom, which she does without hesitation. When the three boys try to ditch her, Wan-Chu plants a bomb of her own, warning them that the next one will be on their front door so that the police will search their house. Now in control of the group, she forces them to assist her in hijacking a bus full of tourists from an airport, but the bus door closes with only Wan-Chu on it. Threatening to light a bomb she is holding, she forces the guide and the tourists to strip to their underwear, then abandons them at a construction site. She finds the three boys leaving their school and pours gasoline on them. She attempts to burn them but they use one of the burning shirts against her as she flees and is nearly hit by a car, causing an argument with its foreign driver. The boys throw rocks at the car and the man chases them as Wan-Chu steals a package from his car filled with Japanese money orders and accidentally drops a written contract in an alley without noticing. The foreigner, a gun runner named Bruce, is killed with a sword by his boss Nigel for becoming exposed. Paul attempts to exchange one of the money orders at a bank but when the teller takes it to the director Paul gets scared and leaves. The youths threaten an exchange manager, demanding information on how to exchange the money orders, but he gives them a fake address. Now angered, they plant a bomb under his car but only kill his bodyguard, the former Mr. Hong Kong . Based on the survivor's testimony, the police link the attack to Paul's previous attempt to exchange the money order at the bank. Wan-Chu offers a deal to a local gang that previously harassed her and meets their leader, Uncle Hark, who works as a club DJ. Hark takes Wan-Chu and Ko to a banker who agrees to exchange 20 of the money orders into Hong Kong dollars for 30% of their amount, then Hark sends his gang to rob the two youths of the money. Wan-Chu and Ko throw the money down the stairwell to Lung, who gets trapped by the gang members in the parking garage. Lung throws the money and money orders at them and escapes when Paul, Ko and Wan-Chu throw bombs at the gang members. Wan-Chu is furious at Lung for throwing the money away and their argument leads the boys to abandon her again. Now alone, Wan-Chu is caught by Hark and his gang. As they are threatening to burn her, Tan arrives and beats up Hark but Wan-Chu refuses to press charges. Back at their apartment, Tan angrily beats her for fighting with the gang then ties her to the bars on the windows with cable ties. Back at the club, Hark makes his gang give him the money they picked up in the parking garage. A drunk foreigner sees one of the money orders among the currency and tells Nigel. Nigel's gang tortures Hark with piano wire until he tells them about Wan-Chu. Nigel's gang comes to her apartment but then Tan returns home and leads them on a chase. Nigel attempts to carry Wan-Chu away but when she struggles out of his grasp she falls and gets impaled through her head by a fence post where she earlier killed a cat in the same way. The police arrive and collect bullets lodged in the wall but also find the money orders under the mouse cage in the house, causing the chief to take Tan off the case. When Paul's face is shown on TV in connection with the bombings, the three boys pack their backpacks and hide out in a large cemetery crowded with gravestones, arguing among themselves. They later attempt to kill themselves by drinking Dettol. Paul and Lung spit it out but Ko swallows it so Paul runs to a shop to buy milk to dilute the poison and is recognized by the seller. Back in the city, Tan attacks two Mormon missionaries on the street after mistaking them for members of Nigel's gang and is brought into the office to be taken off duty for a few days. While there, he answers the telephone and is told by the milk seller that she has seen Paul at the cemetery. Tan finds Lung running t
